      by Emerlyn I had been constantly plotting ways to escape the mansion. The first thing I did after arriving here was to figure out the CCTV layout, that really says it all. It was partly due to habitual behavior. Even if I couldn't completely hide my movements, I needed places to hide in case of an emergency. Unfortunately, there weren't any real blind spots, but at least I was relieved to learn they didn't monitor inside the rooms. Thanks to that, I could hide money under the mattress without anyone knowing any…

      by Emerlyn "..." I couldn't manage any response. Despite her cold tone, her soft voice brought on a wave of déjà vu. As I wondered where I'd heard this voice before, she spoke again. "How did you..." But she didn't finish her sharp line of questioning. As if sensing something odd, she cut herself off mid-sentence. After a moment of silence, a familiar name fell from her lips. "...Bada?" "..." I slowly turned my head. I felt the gun barrel flinch away from the back of my head. My upward glance met…

      by Emerlyn His pheromones drew close. Their presence, never faint to begin with, gradually expanded its territory with that very question. The sweet scent, potent enough to attract insects, seemed to seep in and soak through me. It wasn't intentional pheromones. Rather, he simply wasn't controlling them since he thought his partner was a beta. "...What are you going to do?" I stammered, feeling flustered. At a distance close enough for our breaths to mingle, where our lips might brush with the slightest…

      by Emerlyn My eye color completely changed not long after leaving Theo's house. My eyes, which had an imperceptible blue tinge, turned as blue as her in just three days. As clear and blue as the sea on a cloudless day. In my naive childhood, I would have been overjoyed. I would have asked if I now had a scent too, since I finally had the same color as her. I might have looked in the mirror several times a day, enjoying the sea contained in both his eyes and mine. But now it was different. Knowing what the…

      by Emerlyn ...Turn the car back? "This isn't some kind of dog training..." Their muttered words didn't make any sense to me. Neither did their tired comments about whether we'd make it to the harbor that day. Even in my dazed state of mind, I could still hear their conversation. "What can we do? When the higher-ups say go, we go." "Good grief." I didn't need to hear who they meant by "higher-ups", it was obvious. The person who sent this truck to the harbor. The owner of the mansion I escaped from and…

      by Emerlyn It was such a serious question that I wondered what she already knew before asking. If that person was already dead. Though it was an assumption I didn't want to make, I already knew the answer to the question. "There's nothing we can do." "..." "Then we have to stop looking." What else could be done? As Lee Yuna once said, dead people don't come back. Since I wasn't Joo Do-hwa, I couldn't engage in such meaningless acts as searching for someone who had already departed. "...Really?" Lee…
